excused!
back! alive and not kicking haha. nursing a terrible cough with lots of phlegm to spare. anyway my two weeks of confinement wasn't much like a confinement since i booked out for the MFA scholarship talk and ended up having a fever. In the end, I reported sick from outside and got to rest at home for two days before returning to tekong aka the damned island lol. I booked out yesterday night feeling really tired and sick but still rushed down to join my family members for a renuion dinner at Warren Country Club.
not supposed to blog any details regarding army life. Just that I think there is something wrong with the tekong water or something a lot of people are falling sick. My section mates (aka bunk mates) are all jc students and are really cool and helpful. So I feel fortunate enough to be able to spend the next two months or so with them! haha. Just before booking out, 4 of my bunk mates have already fallen sick and went home before including me myself.
Since I am in PES C, NS didn't require me to perfomr really strenuous activities. Nevertheless there was the usual rushing for time, marching, drills...etc. The funny thing is that everyday increasing number of people are wearing the "excuse tag" which shows that they are excused from jumping, marching, running, physical activities, army uniforms...blah blah blah. I think sooner or later my whole platoon would have the excused card haha. I am excused from road march, so everytime they have that activity I would start to wash the toilets and pick up dead leaves. I think my company building is going to be polished and would shine sooner or later lol. I am easily recognised in my company owing to my stature and the many officers and sergeants have given me lots of different nicknames. really hilarious.
chinese new year ever today...but I couldn't eat all the chinese new year goodies. damn! shall post pictures of my chinese new year visitations next time... then you guys could see how I look being botak! my parents think that I look funny because my head is really round like a watermelon lol.
